What to look for in a Chair Slipcover. A chair slipcover is a specially designed piece of fabric that is used to cover and protect the original upholstery of a chair. Chair slipcovers can come in many different colors and styles. But the two most basic designs you need to be aware of and understand are the terms: ready-made and tailor-made. A ready-made chair slipcover is a semi-fitted mass-produced covering that can work with a wide variety of chair styles and sizes. Ready-made coverings became very popular in the 1960’s when the cost of making these one-piece coverings became less than the cost of getting them hand tailored. The type of chair slipcover is easily found online or in specialty retail stores.

The right slipcover maintains uniformity in all the furniture. The right slipcovers can be stitched at home or they can be brought from outside that are available readymade. Heavier furniture requires different slipcovers. The slipcover should be able to cover the entire furniture. The slipcovers chosen should look best on the overstuffed furniture. The chosen slipcover should decorate the furniture as well as room. They should not fix structural problems. They should be stain and dust resistant.
